Yeah that's it ,kinda what I was expecting it to look like so was shocked when it wasn't, do you think its worth me getting the dremel out and grinding it back like the the one in your pic so it matches the port in the block ??

hi thanks for chiming in ? It fits ok and I sealed it up , I'm just concerned that the port hole in the header is smaller than the port hole in the block , thought they would be same size ?

Also digging a pond in the back garden at the moment so rc time has been sacrificed a bit at the moment but I'll report back as and when , should be done with the pond by next weekend so I'll be back on kyosho/cen mission lol

So I got the header on and exhaust going to test it out Sunday and play around with the gear change point , I did notice though that the exhaust header port is a lot smaller than what was on it , but it's the correct exhaust for that engine can nt16 fun factor. So will see how it goes and go...

So I got the body almost finished and fitted new oil shocks ,my first attempt at painting/cutting a shell so it's not great by any means lol. Still waiting for exhaust and header to turn up .....

So the Mrs fell asleep ,so I thought I'd pop down stairs to get a drink ....bloody fell over and conveniently landed on the spray paint ?... few more coats to go should be done by morning and the smell/mess will be gone so I'll stay in the good books for a little longer ha ha

Also managed to find the correct exhaust and header for the cen nt-16 engine so I can put the exhaust back in its place and should be better for it as I'm assuming that because it's the pipe that would of been on it to start with (the cen) it should be tuned/ compatible for it .just waiting for...

That's it,the part, exactly the same problem was missing from the kit and I didn't have any bearings that fitted the new bell so just stuck the old cen one back on and jobs a gooden ?

Hi sorry was meant to update lol but been busy with work .....so ..took it for a spin and something was seriously wrong with it horrible sound from the clutch bell and wouldn't stay on the spot so I shut it down took it home and stripped it apart again ...On closer inspection it appears the kit...

When I gave it a quick fire up this morning after mounting it , I put it on a brick and and gave it a tiny bit of throttle just to get it all spinning and check the mesh ? so far so good , but yes I'll definitely break it in slowly and check just in case anything shifts about a bit ?

Going to take it out tomorrow afternoon after Morrison's closes lol (big car park) And give a few runs and get it tuned and see how the two speed holds up and adjust the clutch on 2nd gear if needed so it changes at the point I want it to .can't wait to give it blast . Still got a few bits to...

Yep that's what was on it when it arrived , I've gone with this set up for the moment until I can find an appropriate header that fits right and allows the exhaust to sit back down on the chassis like the original was . It's not going to win any beauty contests but it allows me to use it until...

Yeah just tried it , it looked ridiculous lol I'm searching online but can't find a header that will work.....I need to exit the engine go down and left .....but all the ones I can see go right and or up lol

Could I just bolt on that one in the pic that came with it and has the correct size hole and just use some silicone tube with the same i.d or something similar to just make a (U) shape pipe and use it as link/conector piece?? Would this have any adverse effects?? Cheers

Ahh sorry I must have missed it , just gone back and seen your post , thanks for pointing that out , again lol ? I've had a little look online but I'm struggling to find to one that would work ...they either exit and turn the wrong way or they have an (O) shaped mouth rather than a rectangular...

Hi peoples.. So I got up this morning a bit hungover and got on with mounting the engine to the chassis........ So I got the engine mounted and the transmission lined up and meshed nicely . It's the cen nt-16 with kyosho 2 speed bell and the header/manifold from the original kyosho gx12 engine...

Brilliant idea cheers mate , had already marked out engine on the chassis but the oil and card is a good shout for the rest ?

Told you it would be a simple answer lol cheers buddy I'll give it a try

I know this probably has a simple answer but....... whats the best way to make sure I get the holes in the right place ? With the engine resting on the chassis I can see exactly where it needs to be but the minute I take it of it becomes a bit of a guessing game lol like I said probably an easy...

Just offered it all up to see, to get it all to sit right and mesh/line up I would have to make 4 new holes anyways as the none of them line up ,front ones need to be moved forward and apart and the back single one is no good as the cen has 2 at the back not 1 , so it's looking like a drill job...
